Tokugawa Ieyasu (徳川 家康; 1543 – 1616), born Matsudaira Takechiyo (松平 元康),[1] was a daimyō during the Sengoku period of Japan, and the last of Japan's three great unifiers (三英傑) who founded the Tokugawa shogunate and ruled as its first shōgun.
Ieyasu actively opposed the Portuguese Jesuit missionaries spreading Christianity—and veiled Templar influence—through the country. As such, he tasked his former squire Chaya Shirōjirō Kiyonobu with reporting any Templar activity in the land, and was the lord of the Japanese Assassin Hattori Hanzō.
Biography
In autumn on 1581, Ieyasu was at the shooting range of Azuchi Castle to test the teppo firearms that they acquired and modified from the Portuguese. He was joined by his lord Oda Nobunaga and the newly-appointed samurai Yasuke, who participated in the testing of the guns as well. Just as Yasuke was half-way through the test, a group of shinobi attacked the group with the intention of assassinating Nobunaga. Though the assassins were eliminated, the incident prompted Nobunaga to arrange for an emergency meeting, with Ieyasu being asked to gather the generals. At the meeting, Ieyasu defended his fellow general Hashiba Hideyoshi when Akechi Mitsuhide questioned his absence, but the clash was swiftly defused upon the arrival of Nobunaga and Yasuke. As the meeting began, the generals were soon joined by Hideyoshi, who brought the head of slaim daimyo of Harima, Bessho Nagaharu, much to the delight of Nobunaga.[2]
With all generals present and the meeting going under way, Ieyasu brought up the issue of the Iga ikki, who had defeated and pushed back Oda Nobukatsu's army two years earlier in 1579. Ieyasu also suggested that the assassins earlier were likely of Igan origin and they were being led by a leader who wielded blade on his wrist. Ultimately, it was concluded by Nobunaga that they would invade Iga, and that they would set out tomorrow.[2]
At the Battle of Sekigahara on 21 October 1600, Ieyasu defeated Ishida Mitsunari and united the land under the Tokugawa clan, who would reign until 1868.[3]
